Given a graph G and a positive integer d, an L( d, 1) -labeling of G is afunction / that assigns to each vertex of G a non-negative integer such that |f(u)-f (v) | >=d ifd_c(u, v) =1;|f(u)-f(v) | >=1 if d_c(u, v) =2. The L(d, 1)-labeling number of G, lambda_d(G) is theminimum range span of labels over all such labelings, which is motivated by the channel assignmentproblem. We consider the question of finding the minimum edge span beta_d( G) of this labeling.Several classes of graphs such as cycles, trees, complete k-partite graphs, chordal graphs includingtriangular lattice and square lattice which are important to a telecommunication problem arestudied, and exact values are given.
